“Now that you have found out all these things you’re not afraid to go back there any time, are you?” inquired George.
“Yes, sir, I am,” said Fred.
“What?”
“Because we haven’t found out everything. There’s something strange about that place that I don’t understand yet.”
“Why, what happened?” inquired George quickly.
“We heard voices upstairs.”
“Was that the reason why you were moving so fast across the yard?” laughed George.
“Laugh all you want to,” said Fred, “but that’s what we heard.”
“Probably your tramp was talking to himself,” suggested Grant.
